Gucci Mane turned heads in September when he casually mentioned&nbsp;that he had recorded a song for Outkast. An Andre 3000 rep quickly denied anything of that nature, but unanswered questions lingered.

Easily the biggest story of this past week was the announcement of J. Cole's new album,&nbsp;4 Your Eyez Only, the release of a "making of" documentary, and the ensuing drama. The doc contained videos for two new tracks, "False Prophets" and "Everybody Dies," which have been construed to contain disses of Kanye West and Lil Yachty, respectively. A J.

Gucci Mane proposed to his longtime girlfriend at an Atlanta Hawks game last week, and the happy couple have already set a date for their wedding. Anyone who's been following Gucci Mane's career knows there's one day of the year that's more special than any for the Trap God, and that's the day he and Keyshia have chosen to say their vows -- 10/17.

East Atlanta Santa has the hook-up on the hottest quirky Christmas present of 2016. Released today online&nbsp;and in Stance's flagship NYC shop, Gucci Mane socks are here and they're incredible. Available in two designs, the Gucci Mane x Stance socks can be bought in green with the rapper's animated&nbsp;face on it, or in white, patterned with&nbsp;Wop's trademark ice cream tattoo.

Before we dive into Gucci Mane&rsquo;s second mixtape in as many weeks, let&rsquo;s take a quick look at just how much good Gucci has done for the world this year: there&rsquo;s the way he pronounced Kevin Durant on &ldquo;Good Drank&rdquo; (or made bullets &ldquo;tap dance&rdquo; on Kodak Black&rsquo;s &ldquo;Vibin in this Bih&rdquo;); &ldquo;First Day Out Tha Feds&rdquo; is a classic; the reunion on &ldquo;Guwop Home&rdquo; made my inner Young Thug stan weep.

Super producer Mike Will Made-It can't be stopped, even when a dangerous driver gets in his way. Last night, Mike Will reported via Twitter that he had survived&nbsp;a hit-and-run accident that smashed up his Mercedes-Benz. With a video of the smashed up vehicle, the Georgia&nbsp;hitmaker captioned his tweet:&nbsp;&ldquo;Blessed to make it out, survived a hit n run last night in my 63, thank God for AMG @MBUSA."

Hip-hop fans, before we let the music take us away on this Friday night, let's say a prayer for Kanye West, who, instead of spending the holidays with his young family, is in the hospital (allegedly) due to a state of psychosis induced by high levels of stress and exhaustion. Understandably so. Could anyone live a life of such vast ambition, under such constant scrutiny, and maintain his or her sanity? Yes, his ego has proven to be too big for his own good many times over, but through it all, he's never let his lust for greatness drown out his love for humanity.

In August, Travis Scott announced .WAV, his very own radio show on Beats 1. The show entered a hiatus after its first episode. It will return this afternoon at 3 PM EST&nbsp;with guest appearances from Gucci Mane and Yung Lean, with whom Scott recently spent some time in the studio.

It appears Gucci Mane is finally ready to settle down with his longtime girlfriend Keyshia Ka'oir. On Tuesday night, the ATL veteran decided to propose to his girlfriend during the middle of the Atlanta Hawks game, and the best part about it is that it was on the kiss cam for the whole stadium to watch as well.

Drizzy's petty nature may have come in the way of his reported joint project with Kanye West,&nbsp;at least, that's what is being speculated following subliminal comments during his AMA award acceptance speech.

This weekend, Lil Uzi Vert announced that his next mixtape would be a collaborative project&nbsp;with Gucci Mane, one of his foremost inspirations, whom he had never gotten a chance to work with until recently. Of course, Uzi was just 19 -- and nowhere to be seen in the rap game -- when Gucci was sent away to prison, where he stayed for about three years, getting back out at the end of May.

By the time the next edition of Top Tracks drops, it'll almost be December, which means that in terms of music releases, we're entering the year's equivalent of garbage time. We've still got projects from The Weeknd, Childish Gambino, Gucci Mane, and Drake on the way in 2016, but beyond that, don't expect too many surprises in term of full-length projects. What you can bank on, though, are some new singles dropping in order to carry hype into the new year. Let's start shaping up that early 2017 release calendar.&nbsp;

After two solid releases,&nbsp;Lil Uzi Vert vs The World&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Perfect Luv Tape, it's about time for Uzi's third mixtape of 2016. He revealed today that he would soon be dropping&nbsp;1017 vs The World, a joint mixtape with Gucci Mane. Uzi is one of the few rising stars in trap who hasn't yet collaborated with Guwop.

Unlike many of Gucci's other former proteg&eacute;s, Future didn't seem to be in any rush to collaborate with the East Atlanta legend after he was released from prison this May. Almost five months came and went with no new music from the pair (who put out joint tape&nbsp;Free Bricks&nbsp;in 2011), while Young Thug, Migos, Peewee Longway, and even outsiders from Drake to Desiigner, released tracks with Wop.

Rae Sremmurd's "Black Beatles" has just topped the Billboard Hot 100, an honor reserved for only the biggest of hits. The song was propelled by its use in the Mannequin Challenge an internet craze that chose Sremm's record as its soundtrack. While the song may not have become quite as big as it is without the help of a meme, the songwriting of members (and brothers) Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi has broken into the Hot 100&nbsp;quite a few times before (6 to be exact).

Earlier this week it was reported&nbsp;that Rae Sremmurd and Gucci Mane's "Black Beatles" had a chance at taking up the the top spot on The Billboard Hot 100, and today, Billboard has confirmed that the song has jumped to #1.
